[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD: Dear John, you, your wife, family and Alex got it right, and you are all winners. The disease labels of psychiatry are meant for one thing and one thing only and that is to make normal children (or infants or elders, or whatever) patients, and to keep them and patients and drug them for life. You cured Alex's fraudulent disease by refusing to accept it as such by refusing to accept their self-serving verdict that he was abnormal/diseased. Congratulations to you all. Write of your triumph over psychiatry and mental health to Senators Wellstone and Domenici, and Congresspersons Kennedy and Roukema, Hoekstra and Schaffer. Children have died of liver failure from Cylert. Canada has responded as though it cares more for their people than the Pharm Industry, they have taken Cylert off the shelved, but not our government. Thanks, FB] John Han wrote: Dear Dr. Baughman, I just read some of your commentaries on varous websites and thought you ought to know about us. In particular, I am a 37 year old Asian man who married almost 9 years ago, an Hispanic woman with a then, 5 year old boy, diagnosed with ADHD. Needless to say, my new stepson, Alex, was a nightmare. And to make a long story short, we fought the school system and not only took Alex off of medication(Cylert) 8 years ago, but through displine and tough love, Alex has become a straight "A" student and a world-class JAZZ saxophonist by the age of 12, performing for former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Jean Kennedy Smith, at the Kennedy Center. Alex has also performed at many internationally recognized jazz festivals, Lincoln Center, and has been featured in many international newspapers and magazines, including the Sunday NY Times, etc. Alex even has a website at www.alexhanonline.com Alex is the only success story we know of. And we even have a motion picture screenplay about our life with Alex and his rise to succes s. By the way, Alex is now, 14 years old. Please call me if you'd like to know more. I believe that children with whatever people choose to label their behavioral condition, need diligent guidance from their parents and a productive and creative activity/ outlet to give them focus, and self esteem.
